Scones - Savoury or Sweet

These little beauties are a doddle to make. Try them hot from the oven with soups or stews. Alternatively, grill with melting vegan cheese and strips of moist sun-dried tomato or roasted red pepper.

For a sweet version, omit the pepper, herbs etc and add 3-4 tbsp sugar – or to taste. Serve with vegan whipping cream and jam or fresh fruit. Skip the instructions at no. 3 and replace with the sugar and a pinch of salt.

Vegan cheese is available just about everywhere, including large branches of most supermarkets.

4. Make a well in the middle of the mixture, and slowly pour in the soya milk, stirring with a metal spoon. Bring the mixture together until it forms a dough.

5. Fold in the whipped aquafaba now.

6.On a clean work surface or well-scrubbed chopping board, knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. Roll it out to a thickness of about 2.5cm/1in and, using a fluted 9cm/3in cutter – or drinking glass of same size, cut rounds from the dough.

7. Place the rounds on a greased and floured non-stick baking tray, and brush tops with soya or other plant milk.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes in oven and serve immediately. If using later, leave to cool on a rack then transfer to an air-tight container.
